i bought a 10ml decant of this perfume hoping it would hold up to the original le labo thé noir 29 formula. i read such amazing reviews on fragrantica that i had to give it a shot! it might just be my skin chemistry but this perfume and i are simply not compatible. it’s a bit too smokey for me and makes me smell like an ashtray once it settles in, while the original thé noir 29 settles into a sweet and gentle fig scent. i bought a 10ml decant of this perfume hoping it would hold up to the original le labo thé noir 29 formula. i read such amazing reviews on fragrantica that i had to give it a shot! it might just be my skin chemistry but this perfume and i are simply not compatible. it’s a bit too smokey for me and makes me smell like an ashtray once it settles in, while the original thé noir 29 settles into a sweet and gentle fig scent.
